Troubleshooting

File too large? If an individual file exceeds 1GB, consider compressing it using ZIP or another compression format before uploading.

Need to send more than 20 files? Consider organizing your files into folders and compressing them into ZIP archives to reduce the file count.

Recipient can't find the email? Ask them to check their spam or junk folders. You can also resend the files if needed.

Upload taking too long? Large file uploads depend on your internet connection speed. For optimal performance, use a stable, high-speed connection.

Quick Tips

  • Compress large files: ZIP files before uploading to save space and upload time
  • Group related files: Send related files together to keep projects organized
  • Check before sending: Verify recipient email addresses to avoid delivery issues
  • Use descriptive names: Name your files clearly so recipients know what they're receiving
  • Track downloads: Keep an eye on the tracking notifications to confirm recipient access
  • Purchase credits in bulk: Buy more credits at once to have them ready when needed
